The loss is immense. Thank you for writing about it, both investigative and poetic.

That is tragic. We see that everywhere. It’s like a giant earth eating machine with no sense or intelligence, scraping up the earth’s crust and the wildlife with it. We don’t understand how much we are making life uninhabitable for every living thing, including us, on this beautiful blue planet.

Disappointed that Pritzker let this happen. Will let me think twice about ordering from Amazon. It's another example of the golden rule, those with the gold rule.

As long as we consume more than we need, these warehouses of consumer goods will be built on lands where non-human animals, incl. birds, have lived for tens of millions of years. I do not want any birds to lose their habitats.

What gives us the right to do so?

In that sense, I can do my part. I now only buy what I need and only when I need it. And locally, when I can, and not online. I am so much happier about that decision. Next year I plan to buy even less. And so on.
